Performance Of As You Like It For AARP Members - Cincinnati Event
November 29, 2015 - Cincinnati
AARP members and their guests are invited to a free
performance of William Shakespeare's As You Like It on Sunday, Nov. 29
at 7:30 pm at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company.
As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's most
popular comedies. The play features the clever Rosalind, who was banished to
the forest of Arden and dresses as a man for protection. In the woods, she is
shocked to discover the trees are covered with love poems written to her "real"
self by the handsome Orlando. Hiding behind her boyish disguise, she puts
Orlando's love for her to the test.
Though admission is free for AARP members and their
guests, tickets are required by calling the box office at 513-381-2273, ext. 1.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. A cash bar and hors d'oeuvres will be available. The
theater is at 719 Race St. in Downtown Cincinnati.
"This would be a fun way to
end the Thanksgiving weekend by enjoying a timeless classic with other local
AARP members," said Nicole Ware, AARP's associate state director.
The Cincinnati
Shakespeare Company described the characters as "hilarious," the music
"delightful," and the romance "warm-hearted."
Writing in CityBeat,
theater reviewer Rick Pender called the production a "good-natured choice for the holidays". Actress Sara Clark, who plays
Rosalind, is an "audience favorite," he wrote. "She excels with
verbal comedy, so be prepared to laugh."
For the rest of the
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's 2015-16 Subscription Series, AARP members are
eligible for a 15 percent discount, except for Every Christmas Story Ever
Told (And Then Some!)
